Subject: (exotica) collecting

Living with the goal in getting the best exotica LPs only lead to =
collectors prices (involving stomach ache, an empty purse, a lot of time =
wasted, and some LP) for me. I am back at scratch again (meaning records =
in the pricerange $0.5 -$10), and I am happy with it. Let see how long =
it will last.

Harvey Pekar and Robert Crumb has made some comics together involving =
the self inflicted moral problems in collecting records, Harvey wanted =
every jazz record in world. He stopped when his greed forced him to =
steal LPs from a radio station.
Is there other writers describing the weird situations in collecting =
lps?

The original title was 'Schizophrenic' and that's what the pre-release
publicity was done under, but after a complaint from a mental health charity
it was changed last minute to 'Schizophonic'.

(Still not particularly original either way, but...)

Also, it should be mentioned that when the show was re-released in the
nineties, they redid the end credits, so it's good to have the album for
that music.  The beginning credit music is extremely short!

I suppose there must be at least a few Wally Stott albums. I have one,
called "London Souvenir", one of those tourist-oriented souvenir
albums. This is nice, dating from the 50s, and with a booklet of
photographs. Traditional Eng-er-lish tunes, but with cool Stott
arrangments; not QUITE as far out as the Goons, but "London Bridge Is
Falling Down" has its moments...

in Italy when you're a music compositer or lyricist you're usually a member
of royalty collection agency called SIAE. The only limitation they have is
that you can't use a title used by another composer who has your same
surname. But actually I don't think they control this stuff so well... hehhe.

So theorically if you're called "Jackson" you can't register a song called
"Bad" as it would be confused with Michael Jackson's track with the same
title.

Years ago I've read (on a newsletter I got from an Irish music association)
that there are tons of songs with the title "Baby baby", dozens of "Baby
baby baby" and even some track called (err) "Baby baby baby baby". ;D

>I am not sure what this has to do with the topic --- I got sorta sidetracked.

hehe. Me too... ;)))

indicentally, the so-called "Fez Combo" is lead by Nicola Conte who is the
mind behind Schema (once Conte's own label, now a sub-label of Ishtar
directed by Conte).
Years ago, together with his friend Fred Ventura, Nicola Conte put together
an acid jazz album for the well-known series "Totally Wired" (Totally Wired
Italia). The funny bit was that every track was done by Conte and Ventura
under different aliases and the English label guys believed there was a
huge acid jazz scene in Italy with lotsa different bands...! ;)))

I'm with you - I got a free copy , listened to it andpromptly gave it to
the
8 year old girl down the street who has a crush on Austin Powers (now
there's
a topic for another day).  And the thing I just don't get is, considering
the
plot (Austin's "mojo" is stolen), why didn't they use "I Got My Mojo
Workin?"


I think that's one thing especially funny about AP.  A lot of the Brit rock
stars had HORRIBLE teeth, but WE Gals just love 'em anyway!  Think about
David Bowie, before he got his teeth fixed!  I'd still, uh, SHAG him up and

                            *Rick Fields
    FAIRFAX, Calif. (AP) -- Rick Fields, a writer and close friend of Beat poet
Allen Ginsburg who chronicled the rise of Buddhism in the United States,
died Sunday of cancer. He was 57.
    Fields wrote ``How the Swans Came to the Lake: A Narrative History of
Buddhism in America'' in 1981.
    He began writing at the Whole Earth Catalog in 1969, and later contributed
regularly to the Yoga Journal and New Age Journal. He also founded the Loka
Journal and taught at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics in
Boulder, Colo.

                          *Lawrence J. Nunn
    WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Lawrence J. Nunn, who created the grinning
Freddy the Alligator which still adorns canal bridges, water conservation
pamphlets and Florida Turnpike toll booths, died Monday. He was 81.
    In 1963, Nunn joined the flood control district, now known as the South
Florida Water Management District, and worked there for 20 years.
    He created the alligator logo for the district and produced a film about
the life of an alligator in the wild. He named the cartoon logo after
Freddy, a real life baby gator who hatched in his film.
    Nunn eventually gave the real gator to the Palm Beach Zoo and would visit
him on lunch breaks. Freddy was killed by vandals in 1985.

                            *Jabu Nkosi
    JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) -- Jabu Nkosi, a jazz keyboardist who
played with such luminaries as Miriam Makeba and Harry Belafonte, has died
of heart failure. He was 46.
    The Sunday Times said Nkosi had high blood pressure, diabetes and cirrhosis
of the liver. It did not say when he died.
    The son of legendary alto sax and clarinet player Zakes Nkosi, Jabu Nkosi
left school at an early age and began performing jazz with friends and family.
    He never learned to read music but amazed fellow musicians with his
intuitive grasp of harmony and other concepts. Nkosi's keyboard style was
characterized by his delicacy and ability to improvise.
    Nkosi was frequently hospitalized the last two years, which limited his
performances and his financial resources. He lived in the black township of
Alexandra near Johannesburg, unable to afford electricity.

Subject: Re: (exotica) How can this be?!

Hi all,

I, too, winced when I saw Geri Halliwell's album title. But while I had
always thought that the title was a ComEd invention, an essay I read
recently gave me reason to believe otherwise. The following is from
ethnomusicologist Steven Feld's essay "From Schizophonia to Schismogenesis:
The Discourses and Practices of World Music and World Beat," found in both
_Music Grooves_ (Charles Keil and Steven Feld, eds., 1994) and _The Traffic
in Culture_ (George E. Marcus and Fred R. Myers, eds. 1995):

"'Schizophonia refers to the split between an original sound and its
electo-acoustical transmission or reproduction,' writes Canadian composer
Murray Schafer, introducing his terminology of soundscape research and
acoustic ecology in _The Tuning of the World_ (1977:90). . . . Summarizing
his concept Schafer writes:

I coined the termed schizophonia in _The New Soundscape_ [1969] intending
it to be a nervous word. Related to schizophrenia, I wanted it to convey
the same sense of aberration and drama. Indeed, the overkill of hi-fi
gadgetry not only contributes generously to the lo-fi problem, but it
creates a synthetic soundscape in which natural sounds are becoming
increasingly unnatural while machine-made substitutes are providing the
operative signals directing modern life. (Schafer 1997:91)"

After reading this, I merely thought ComEd was proudly claiming the
"schizophonic" mantle in the face of such hand-wringing done by those (like
Schafer) who insist on seeking out some sort of authenticity in music. The
word seemed frighteningly appropriate to me, although, to be sure, it's
probably not a widely known or used word--it's not in my dictionary, for
example.

yes, but unlike ginger spice, the Replacements knew of the Beatles

point.

Well Harvey never really stopped.  Yeah he sold five thousand records but
he still collects them.  And books too.
Actually I'm going to be visiting him in less than a month in order to
relieve him of as many records as possible.
I'm doing him a favour actually.  That's how he sees it too. He picks up a
lot of records.  It's often got nothing to do with whether he wants them or
not.  A lot of them are crap that nobody would want but in the last couple
of years I've been "educating" him on the kind of crap that we like.
Supposedly he's got a lot of them.  Last fall, his wife drove up here and
brought a box of his discards.  I kept a dozen or so and sold the rest for
him.  And he was thankful to get anything.  Harvey's a "nickle and dime"
kind of guy and apparently in Cleveland he can't get even the small sum of
money for them that I got for him.

As far as the question of whether anyone else writes about record
collecting in that way, besides the obvious one - "High Fidelity" - I can't
think of anyone.  But in a few months there will be a film on this subject
and I know for a fact that Harvey is in it.

If you like mystery novels, you might check out George Pelecanos.  There's
not much about record collecting in them but his hero does make a lot of
obscure musical references.  Or more obscure than you usually find in novels.

Subject: (exotica) they're still coming in

I've been working a few shifts in my friend's used record store.
Partly through my influence he's become a big lounge/exotica/cool and
strange fan and he's somehow attracted that kind of record to the store.
There's this guy who keeps coming in to sell stuff.  He says that he's an
electrician and that he keeps ending up in homes where the people have
vinyl and he offers to sell it for them.  Who knows?
Anyway he came in today and Scott went outside and when he came back in
with the first of five milk crates, he said "It's going to blow your mind".

I don't think I've ever seen exotica records in such immaculate shape.
Particularly the covers.  But the vinyl too.

I won't even list the cool jazz stuff or anything else.  Just stick to
exotica.

There were perfect copies of:

ARTHUR LYMAN - Blowin in the Wind
          - Bwana A
SURFMEN - Exotic Island
LES BAXTER - Fabulous Sounds of...
YMA SUMAC - Inca Taqui (10 inch)
SID RAMIN etc - New Sound America Loves Best
SID BASS - With Bells on
DICK SCHORY - Bang Barroom etc
        - Wild Percussion
        - Music to break any mood

plus...
MARCO POLO ADVENTURERS - Orienta
An amazing record I'd never heard of and which I'm now trying to relieve
him of.

THE ODD COUPLE SINGS on Phase Four
With a classic "golden throat" version of Jack Klugman - pre-surgery -
croaking out "You're so vain" and Tony Randall sort of answering him in
between the lyrics.

And this record called "MANDINGO", not the soundtrack.  The story on the
back claims that some newly discovered Caribbean guy named Mandingo made
the record and played all the thirty or forty instruments ranging from
various drums through electric harpsichord and synth.
From what I've heard so far, this is a great record in the Manu Dibango mode.

So the stuff is still out there.

Maybe next time I'll tell you about the guy with the milk crates full of
Zappa, Beefheart and Hawkwind and the pitiful expression on his face as his
girlfriend forced him to sell his collection.

Mandingo (The Primaeval Rhythm of Life) - Take it and make it yours -
Although its only a load of old musicians in a recording studio in London
somewhere (led by Geoff Love and Normall Newell - how naf!), it is a
premium collection of jungle rhythms based on ritual tribal African music.
Quality!

Subject: (exotica) they don't know it's cool

hey here in Kansas City there is a radio station that just doesn't know it's
cool. it's on AM and it's called "the music of your life". I know, I know
that sounds like old geezer music, but if you like Perez Prado, Sinatra, Les
Baxter, etc. than listen, ( i think this might be syndicated)

Since i drive a '66 beetle and only have AM radio it seems sooo appropriate
to have songs like "fever" with peggy lee, or "apache" or great command
record hits.

NAT and all other exoticamongers, YES, the truth is out, The Marco Polo
Aventurers ORIENTA is a CLASSIC piece of "strange" music.  I believe it is
actually just a bunch of studio musicians who put themselves together for
this one record.  I've been lucky to happen upon two copies of this.  The
second one I got at a record show, and the guy was selling it for like $5,
and asked me if I was just getting it for the (very cool) cover!  I
informed him the music inside was better, probably jacking up the price to
$25 to the next unlucky buyer...I gave it away as a gift...so I'm down now
to one copy...a cherished one, at that!

Courdroy are a pop jazz funk outfit who did lively stage performances with
a lot of band members playing a classic setup - horns, lots of percussion,
hammond, etc.
Somehow though, they seemed to miss the mark - not quite funky enough for
dancing, too poppy for the classic jazz funk sound, not poppy enough for
mainstream success, not inventive enough for cult status or anorak
enthusiasm, etc etc.
Having said that though, I don't know all their work, and I've only seen
them live once.

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1999 JUN 15 (NB) -- By Adam Creed,  Newsbytes.
A US federal appeals ruled Tuesday that a device that plays music recorded
and distributed via computers and the Internet in the MP3 format does not
fall under the jurisdiction of the nation's anti-piracy laws.

The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco found that the Rio
MP300 device, manufactured by Diamond Multimedia Systems Inc. , does not
qualify as a "digital audio recording device" and so is not subject to the
restrictions defined in the 1992 Audio Home Recording Act.

    SAN DIEGO, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- EMusic.com Inc. (formerly GoodNoise

announced the MP3 availability of selected music from the catalog of
digitalpressure, a division of peermusic.  At the MP3 Summit conference and
exhibition being held here this week, EMusic.com also announced the
completion of its acquisition of Internet Underground Music Archive (IUMA).
IUMA, founded in 1993, was the Internet's first site to offer unsigned

    EMusic.com Completes Acquisition of IUMA
    The Internet Underground Music Archive will be operated as an
independent Web site, integrating with the EMusic.com site where
appropriate.  IUMA artists gaining enough popularity to attract the
attention of an Emusic.com partner label will be "called up" to the
Emusic.com site for commercial electronic distribution.  IUMA will pursue
specialized marketing and branding efforts designed to tighten its focus and
squarely target unsigned musicians of all genres -- drastically increasing
content acquisition and distribution efforts.
